The auth_token middleware is in python-keystoneclient now so the docs for it should be there. Change-Id: I9811b648e92e16b099764f40aa67dd084f445088

Middleware Architecture
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The Keystone middleware architecture supports a common authentication protocol
|
|
in use between the OpenStack projects. By using Keystone as a common
|
|
authentication and authorization mechanism, the OpenStack project can plug in
|
|
to existing authentication and authorization systems in use by existing
|
|
environments.
|
|
|
|
The auth_token middleware is no longer hosted in Keystone and has moved to the
|
|
python-keystoneclient project. The `documentation regarding authentication
|
|
middleware`_ can be found there.
